Running F17: I have a 2TB HD with 1463 pending bad blocks, 0 reallocated so far. All the data has been moved to another HD, the problem HD unmounted. Full SMART scan verified the pending bad blocks. However, I can't run badblocks on /dev/sdc1 because it is "apparently in use". lsof tells me there are 3 instances of jbd2/sdc1. It should be no problem to use -f with badblocks in this case, but is there any way to stop jdb2 from accessing the unmounted partition? Thanks for any help you can provide.
